§ 1006 Bank Corporation Formation Restrictions

This law says you can't start a new company in this state that runs a commercial bank, industrial bank, or trust company, unless the law specifically allows it.

Key Takeaways

  • •No new corporations for banks or trust companies can be formed in the state.
  • •The rule only applies to corporations organized after the law took effect (Jan 1 2012).
  • •An exception is possible, but only if the same chapter specifically says it’s allowed.

Example

A group of people wants to create a new bank in the state and files paperwork to form a corporation.

Because of this law, the state will not let them set up the corporation for a bank unless the chapter gives a special permission, so their plan is blocked.
